cactusweasel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi all, Well, I suspected the clutch on my car was coming to the end of its life as the pedal was really high and it was juddery and sounded like a bag of nails when pulling away, especially when hot! Anyway, I noticed it has started slipping tonight so time to get it replaced. However, aside from the clutch, flywheel and release bearing (if thats what you call it, the thing that whines when the pedal is depressed), is there anything else in there that would be wise to change at the same time? Also I assume the general concensus is to replace the stock dual mass flywheel with a lightweight one instead? Cheers - Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a2orry Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Ther is a spigot bearing fitted to the end of the crank shaft worth doing when the box is out I would assume the garage fitting the clutch and fly would recommend this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always worth changing, they are only £6.50. Competition Clutch's kits all come with a new replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusweasel Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Cheers for the quick replies - will have a look at replacing the parts mentioned. Zmanalex, if you don't mind can I drop you a PM as I was hoping to get the parts from yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes no problem please do, we have a number of options in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Change the clutch pivot ball aswell get an uprated chromoly one. Stick lightweight flywheel in to, one of the best mods imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
